  When the Decadal (now called Astro2010) process and schedule came out, it proved to have short fuses on just about every step. At this point USIC benefited enormously from having begun community discussions two years ago, and having formed working groups nearly a year ago.\\ \\   When the Decadal (now called Astro2010) process and schedule came out, it proved to have short fuses on just about every step.

- Members of the interferometry community contributed 6 white papers focused on science enabled by interferometry - only one of these was formally signed by USIC. A further 18 papers mention contributions from ground-based optical interferometry while 62 (nearly 20% of the total) cite the need for ground or space optical/infrared interferometry (see http://usic.wikispaces.com/ASTRO2010+White+Papers for details).\\ \\ + Members of the interferometry community contributed 6 white papers focused on science enabled by interferometry - only one of these was formally signed by USIC.

  The USIC prepared and submitted a policy paper, reviewing the critical need for operations support for and community access to ground-based arrays, and proposing a new funding opportunity, perhaps similar to the NSF University Radio Observatory grants program, with a suggested funding level of $6M/year (see http://usic.wikispaces.com/ASTRO2010+White+Papers for details). This position paper included an endorsement page signed by representatives of the US Ground-based interferometer facilities. An additional three Position papers mentioned O/IR ground-based interferometry - those of Akeson, Frogel and Silva.\\ \\   The USIC prepared and submitted a policy paper, reviewing the critical need for operations support for and community access to ground-based arrays, and proposing a new funding opportunity, perhaps similar to the NSF University Radio Observatory grants program, with a suggested funding level of $6M/year (see http://usic.wikispaces.com/ASTRO2010+White+Papers for details).
